Second Life comes to Real Life in ‘Third Life’, a dance based on digitized representations of human movement captured from the online world Second Life. It’s a playful look at what aspects of human behavior get reproduced in the digital world, and how those choices reveal assumptions about what is considered ‘normal’.
Seen Performance presents "on the other side of the glass plate, she wore nothing," a show about fashion and boxes, a place where inside is out and outside is in, where self perception melds with your perception. It is a place for tumbling into frames, rhythms, and patterns – and getting lost in the seams.

Bernadette Ilse presents a Display of Unique Art Assemblage: From ordinary objects to found salvage one of a kind combinations arranged to form engaging and unusual pieces of art based on a myriad of themes.
